In this painting of Jackson Square in New Orleans, the silhouetted statue of Jackson has very little detail, but that does not lessen its impact. The viewer doesn't need every detail of the saddle, the folds of the uniform, or the carved letters on the base. The silhouetted shape of horse and rider is very clear without those details.
I've said it before: Providing all the details in the interior of a shape will never save a bad shape. Let the silhouette carry the day.
